The Rigveda comprises ______ hymns.

The Rigveda is made up of 1028 hymns, called suktas, arranged in ten mandalas.

The figure 10600 confuses the hymns with the roughly ten thousand verses the text holds.

The count 1064 slightly overstates the accepted number of hymns.

The number 11300 has no basis in the structure of the text.

These hymns are addressed largely to deities such as Agni, Indra and Varuna.

The Rigveda is the oldest of the four Vedas and a foundation of Vedic learning.
